Ralph D. Daniel Leadership Award
The Ralph D. Daniel Leadership Award recognizes a member who has made outstanding leadership contributions to his chapter, campus and community. A minimum GPA of 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) is required to apply, but the applicant's leadership accomplishments are the primary factors in the award. Leadership outside the chapter setting is most important.

The $4,000 award is named in honor of Executive Director Emeritus Ralph D. "Dud" Daniel, Arizona ’47, who served the Fraternity between 1948 and 1979 in many capacities, including Executive Director and President of the Foundation. Dud, affectionately known as Mr. Phi Psi, continues to serve the Fraternity as its most recognized and beloved diplomat in Interfraternity circles.
